are u planning to include the voicing and music in the beta, also when the mod is ready have u thought of having the music and voicing as a seperate download, i would be intrested in beta testing this mod if u need anymore testers

First to answer Kain. For the moment, we are good for playtesters. Such questions actually are better addressed in the main thread.

As of this moment, the music isn't set in stone though there are a few pieces in mind. There is no voicing as such, but we do plan on a full soundset, and hopefully full voicing in the end.

As for music and voicing as a separate download, I don't think we considered that.

Now, onto something else. The PC class lovetalks are being cut entirely. There is more than enough content in Delainy we don't have to include them Also by doing this, that means there really is only one lovetalk for me to write. I apologize, but on the other hand, often there is something cut from modules.

(and please note, writing doesn't mean coding)

I've been reading this place for quite some time now (though I only took the trouble of registering just now), and would just like to say that this mod looks promising, at least. There haven't been too many new romance mods released in quite some time now, and it's good to see a new one coming along, especially one that looks this interesting. Keep it up .

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move - Douglas Adams

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something - Robert Heinlein

Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves - Lord Chesterfield

No the reason with the class lovetalks being cut was my decision to speed up the final bits of writing, and not really anything to do with coding. And silly me, I thought July would be more conducive to giving me time to wrap up.

As it is now, almost everything else talked about will definitely be in the module. I am not kidding when I say Delainy has a lot of material. Any of the playtesters can attest to that. Camdawg has been more than gracious to code it into the module as it is.

I'm in no hurry for a big download, which a full speech pack would likely be. Since the mod is likely to be released before speech is recorded, I think it'd be best to provide the speech as a seperate download, especially since, if it's done well, the speech rarely has to be changed, while the mod itself might go through a patch or two after release. It also eases the burden on us 56k folks, and those players who might prefer to play female PCs and don't care about the romance portion.

Still, I'd rather download a large file for Delainy than I would for... certain other NPCs.

Only 53,000 words eh? Heh, I'm spoiled on full-sized novels. Still, if I want copious reading in a computer game, I'll play PS:T. I'm sure Delainy will have plenty to say. It'd be nice to have someone in the party who could out-talk Jaheira, the NPC with the largest number of dialogs in the entire game.
